About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study to Establish the Safety of Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection for Treatment of Perianal Warts in Adult Men and Women Who Are HIV/HPV Co-infected

Study is a dose escalation study. Fifteen patients will be enrolled in 2 treatment cohorts. Five participants (cohort A) will be treated with 200IU Multikine daily, 5 days/week for 2 weeks, off 2 weeks, then again 5 days/week for 2 weeks. If no serious adverse events are noted in cohort A patients, ten participants will be treated in cohort B. Cohort B participants will be treated the same as cohort A participants except that dose will be increased to 400IU Multikine per day.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Wart characterization change

    Perianal wart characterization includes counting the number of identified warts, the diameter measurement of each identified wart in millimeters and the photographic imaging of each identified wart during the treatment phase and the follow-up phase of the study

    Measured: Time Frame: Days 0, 4, 11, 32, 39, 70, 100, 130, 160 ]

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Assessment of HPV subtype identification change

    HPV subtyping will be performed on specimens collected from the anal canal.

    Measured: Days 0, 4, 11, 32, 39, 70, 100 130, 160

  2. Assessment of Anal dysplasia cytologic grade change

    Anal dysplasia cytologic specimen collection will take place during the treatment phase and the follow-up phase of the study

    Measured: Days 0, 4, 11, 32, 39, 70, 100, 130, 160

  3. Assessment of adverse effects during the treatment phase of the study assessed

    Adverse effects experienced during the treatment phase of the study are recorded by the study participants in a symptoms log

    Measured: Days 0, 4, 11, 32, 39, 70, 100, 130, 160

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection in people with Perianal Warts, run by CEL-SCI Corporation at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Insufficient enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Wart characterization change (time frame: Time Frame: Days 0, 4, 11, 32, 39, 70, 100, 130, 160 ]). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Sep 2023.
